Material handling equipment manufacturer with embedded automation and fleet management
Toyota Material Handling manufactures and distributes forklifts, reach trucks, automated guided vehicles, and aerial platforms across 230+ North American locations. The tech stack—heavily weighted toward embedded systems (C++, Embedded Linux, Yocto, CAN, CANopen)—reflects a hardware-first engineering culture building connected equipment. Active adoption of Pytest and Jira signals a shift toward formalized testing and agile workflows in an organization historically rooted in mechanical engineering and manufacturing operations.
